This is a match I did not see coming. Let me explain: I've known Elise for years. Starting with her maternity session, I've photographed her and her sweet boy now at over 20 sessions (that's no exageration, we counted). These two are my perfect little models- they're basically pros at this point. Funny enough, though, Jared has been in front of my camera before too! I've had the pleasure of working with him as a DJ at weddings. So when Elise told me about their relationship,

Spring is here and that means two things: rain and prom! When I was in high school, I think it rained three of the four years on prom day. This past Saturday also saw gloomy skies and the occasional drizzle, but that did not stop these wonderful young people from looking their absolute best. Maddie & Brayden Starting off with one of my favorite model couples! Sweet Maddie walked in and immediately asked where my kids were. They love her and she loves them! Maddie and Brayden

First comes love Second comes marriage Then comes the dreamiest, bloomiest maternity session ever I'm so happy for my sweet friends and their upcoming journey into parenthood. Emily and John first posed for my camera at this very place three years ago. I often reference their engagement session because of how beautiful it was. Then their wedding was even more stunning. I didn't think it was possible, but this maternity session may be my very favorite of them. Talk about glow

The newest little Crase has arrived! Hayden made his appearance what felt like about three days after his momma told me about him. It may not seem that way to her, but I feel like time absolutely flew! And the fact that we did newborn sessions for Hayden's big brothers yesterday means time is seriously flying. But if there was ever a moment in my life when time stood still, it was holding my newborn baby. That's why I love these sessions. It's a permanent reminder of these pr

The Lavey Wedding is officially in the books and I cannot wait to show off this incredible couple, but before I do, I just have to first take a second to recognize the people that surrounded Josh and Lauren on their big day. This bridal party is the standard. I saw these ladies sort through layers and layers of dress to capture bugs. They repositioned the veil countless times. They made sure Lauren was fed and hydrated. They held up their phones to capture special moments, ju

I had the most precious little peanut in my studio this week. Louis Grant has made his arrival as the first baby, first nephew, and first grandbaby on each side. I speak from experience when I say: that is a lot of responsibility! Being that spoiled (loved) is no easy task, but Mr. Louis has taken on his new role like a complete professional. Starting with the perfect newborn session! Little man was so calm the entire time. His gallery will be full of his little irresistible

Here's the story: I blog almost all of my sessions. That means my husband proofreads all of my blogs (yes-blame mistakes on him). After he read about a session I did for the sweetest engaged couple at the Indiana Statehouse, that man says to me, "Those were really pretty. We should go there and take pictures together." I know. I know. Nicholas Sparks himself couldn't have come up with a more romantic line. Say less. Coincidentally, my bff texted me about that same session say

April showers bring the most magical engagement sessions! I am elated to show off these two love birds and their portraits that look like they came straight out of a magazine. Hannah and Justin met me at West Baden Springs to document this time in their love story. Their incredible sense of style paired with the breathtaking scenery of the resort created the most gorgeous editorial-style photos. Then we headed outside in the drizzling rain to give this adorable couple their “

Please welcome to the blog, Mr. Stark, or "Peter Parker" as my son calls him. How cool can one guy be to have two superhero names?! And it totally fits him. Just like superheroes, Parker has many talents and interests. As proven by the fact that his arms could barely hold all of his patches. None of his talents, however, are more impressive to this photographer than his ability to snap from 100-watt smile to serious smolder in a nano-second. I had so much fun getting to docum

I'm completely geeking out over these images. What a dream of a session. Back when I first started this photography journey, Megan and Devin were my very first session fully in manual. Every time I looked at the back of my camera, I was in awe at the art we had created. Nine years later, I got that very same thrill looking at these breathtaking images. Yes, this setting is incredible. Of course, Megan looks like a model. Yes, it's drool-worthy the way Devin stares at his bri
